Robecology comments on Sep 22, 2019:

IMO, as a retired science teacher (of 45 years), It's not a bad thing to push its' classification as "academic"... I think it implies that scientific posts are information and/or knowledge-based, and/or fact-based comments. I would hope that more science posts would include a link to back them up... that's a way to be "academic"....support your POV with references... thusly; https://www.umt.edu/writingcenter/docs/resourcesforwriters/waystosupportanargument.pdf

The Dems need to read this.

Robecology comments on Sep 22, 2019:

The Dems are becoming the party of sophistication. Trump may seem illiterate and borderline crazy...but he's crazy like a fox. He's clever enough to make sure he's using all the ways to skirt the issues...all the ways to avoid confrontation with "the law"....including getting the heads of law on his side. So I'm sensing, as jerry99 seems to be doing as well....that the Dems in power know they're wasting their time and efforts to go against the Republicans now. It will take a massive sea-change in 2020 to bring back the sanity, the science, and the ecology of sophisticated rule. The image says it for me....

I was also impressed with the perks...from forming my own groups to getting the T shirt! So that leads me to the question; why did you sign on to Agnostic.com?

Good Afternoon Everyone! Does anyone like being single?

Robecology comments on Sep 21, 2019:

It is, indeed, a challenge to be "paired up" with someone. You have to sacrifice, and bend, and tolerate certain things....and in exchange you're rewarded with intimacy and children. There's a lot of wisdom to the person that finds themselves single, alone...and complete! It's easy to explain biologically; whenever any species gets too crowded there's a natural turn-off of the mating drive. Any student of Ecology will vouch for me here. So my strategy is - put myself out there. When someone's very in tune with me...and lives close to me...they'll find me. ....and vice-versa. I am focusing, right now, on loving myself -alone - as I am - with all my flaws....perfect. ....but if anyone's ready for "my kind of perfection" please do get in touch!

Climate Change: The Trouble With Trees [youtube.com]

So #1. Earth is only 30% land. #2. Only 25% of that land is covered with forests; for a total earthly percentage of 7.5% CO2/O2 exchange. Even is we allow for 50% of our land coverage to become more forest-covered...that's still only 15% of world-wide total oxygen production. #3. Oceans cover 70% of the the planet. Our real name should be planet Ocean. #4. 90% of the ocean is where most (70-80%) of our oxygen comes from #5. Oceans are where we still dump our most toxic, most dangerous wastes. #6. Let's stop struggling with tree planting, and look toward cleaner oceans and healthier phyto-plankton; the microscopic pre-plants that gave us most of our Oxygen in the first place. https://eos.org/research-spotlights/worlds-biggest-oxygen-producers-living-in-swirling-ocean-waters

If you say "Solitude is often a hard pill to swallow." Why quote something which is asking you not to fear "that pill"? It's been my experience that if you do, indeed "swallow that pill" you'll be amazed at the benefits....you should not only "not fear the process" but "welcome" it. You entered this world in solitude. You will leave it the same way. Embrace it.

Is there a group here called Agnostic Faith? Or was there?

Robecology comments on Sep 18, 2019:

Agnostic means "unknown" or Not aware, or unproven. It doesn't depend on "faith". Quite the opposite - Agnosticism abhors faith, leans strongly toward facts, evidences and proofs. As @CutieBeauty put it...it's an "oxymoron" to call agnosticism a "faith"...it's a thought system that is the opposite of faith.

How Tall Can Mountains Get? [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Sep 17, 2019:

Mountains rise because Granite is less dense than Basalt....Hence granitic rocks "float" on the mantle, Basaltic rocks sink. As long as the core is fluid and plastic, mountains will rise...and as long as wind and rain occurs, they will be eroded. It's this rate of rise and erosion that separates the Rockies from the Alps and the Alps from the Appalachians and Catskills.

They're everywhere!

Socialst leaders have tried - with horrible results - to control population. We can't keep growing...but for capitalism to work - it must. Socialism has the root of the issue in it's name. We've formed a society. A society that's growing by 158 more per minute. 227,000 more per day. A million more every 5 days. (http://www.poodwaddle.com) The earth isn't growing....so the "capitalists" profit from wars and weapons, from stripping the earth of its' resources. They knew forssts were necessary for us to breathe - yet they kept stripping the forests...until socialists restricted them. They know that fuels have to be ended...but their lust for money makes them ignore this. And so far, in America, at least, low taxes (we're the lowest of any nation) on fuels and subsidies on fuel makers (we're the highest) make the capitalists' fuel obsession work. https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10327 So they push capitalism and fear "socialism" This must end.

Robecology comments on Sep 16, 2019:

I'm slowly losing weight. My target is getting in to the 130's and staying there...while keeping my fitness. I work out daily; either a good swim, or a decent bike ride. I won't go to a high fat /low carb "keto" diet. The logic to me is in the portions and the hunger factor. If I go to be a bit hungry, I lose weight. If I eat unwisely, I gain weight. The diet demands we have are far stronger than any drug addiction; we've been programmed to diet prefs before we could walk and talk...so it's no wonder that it's hard to change our diet. My recommendations are simple....ease up on the carbs. Cut out/reduce breads, rice, and potatoes. Boost your proteins and fiber. Boost your fresh frruits and veggies. Even frozen and lightly cooked is better than none. Ease up on your pure sugar; Splenda/sucralose is a good substitute. I'm at 145 this AM and I plan to be in the 130's by the time the holiday "feasting" season rolls around.

Check out this 10 second gif Map showing the growth of obesity in America by the CDC. http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2013/04/130417-MOTW-obesity-map.gif

I'm trained in photography, but the only real camera I have is a 35mm Canon A1.

They're very personal tools...your best bet is to go in to a store and talk to a salesperson. Look through many - ask lots of questions. The weight, the "heft" the reputation, new or used...there's too many variables...it really depends on what you're comfortable with.

Good Morning Everyone! Deportations begin at Homeland Security.

You are beyond courageous for protesting....while too many of us just sit and observe. Pat yourself on the back...a big thank you for being an activist in the true sense of the word.

Yesterday afternoon I was at a Mediterranean fete.

The ethnic Greeks of N.C. know how to eat...or shall i say "indulge" in gastronomic delights...

Mid Autumn festival with the Love Birds on the train, nyayyyyy 😉😂

Hong Kong, I presume? And is that a pic of you or someone else taking a "selfie"?

Sadly, terraforming, while maybe possible technically, doesn't stand a chance politically. 😥

Bill Maher covered this well, the eve of Earth day this past April. it was so good I've saved it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrGFEW2Hb2g

Hi all! I was feeling discouraged about my weight loss and told myself that I had to wait a week ...

Robecology comments on Sep 14, 2019:

Great question! Forgive me while I ramble and rant...but.... Being retired - and being "old"(74)... is a mixed blessing....no work to do...but if you don't "sweat" or "huff and puff" daily....you feel it more quickly than when you were young. So, I do weigh myself daily. I do exercise every day (love the "rush" of energy after a workout and shower)...and I just feel better on the days I've had a good bike ride or swim-lap workout... ...And then there's the wondering about "the end"...a lot closer, now. You try not to think about it...but if you don't, you forget the "meds" your doc prescribes.... Yes, I do volunteer for a few things...I have my finger in the pie at the local botanical gardens, I'm lined up to be an assistant at the community science fair, and etc. There's the frustration of very, very infrequent "intimacy" because I've chosen to live alone... I do bend over backwards to please the lady-friend who rarely visits, and when she does, is too often bitter and arrogant...so is not fun to be with...so I'm happy to see her go... I eat carefully; after morning coffee - some egg whites, with cheese and salsa....a light yogurt lunch, and I love the evening meal...a small portion of something healthful....followed by something decadent... tiny....but decadent (my 'muscle' brownies usually fill the bill).

Almost nighty night time....

Now I believe that Sophia Loren did allow a few pics of herself semi-nude; although her areolas were darker ( that dark Italian pigmentation) so I'm guessing this isn't accurate; https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=Sophia%20Loren&rs=typed[]=Sophia%7Ctyped[]=Loren%7Ctyped

Sophia?

Just going to drop this here to explain what is really going on these days...

It's almost too close to the truth to be funny....

The remains of a man missing for 22 years have been found -- thanks to Google Earth [cnn.com]

LOL....Good ol' alcohol....

Lucy Lui? Or another Photoshop?

Robecology comments on Sep 14, 2019:

If you google 'Luci Lieu nude photographs" you get all sorts of soft and even some hard porn shots. I'm 99% sure she'd never pose for them...but I could be wrong.

Lucy Lui? Or another Photoshop?

Robecology comments on Sep 14, 2019:

Luci and Annette are/were both too "classy" to have allowed a topless or full nude image of them taken.....so I'm only guessing that yes...that's decent photoshop work.

Retro tins.🙂

I still have a few, including a band-aid box pre-"plastic strips"...when they were cloth and gauze!
